So i got 10 mins wirh the cx to test compressio. Results 120 - 90. Shit. Have to check valves. Put oil in low cilynder. No change. Must be valves. Hope it is just adjustment. So plans are a removal of huge signals and tails. Clean, paint, new seat, I like the bars and headlight. Front will be lowered and it will be good to go. Low budget. Got it for 250.

So also when I hooked up a good battery I prompley blew a fuse or something. Yay. I am at the dentist now and will get to the valves when I get home. Had to do c test by using booster cables to the starter motor.

Got polarity right. Lights were on etc. Just popped when i hit the start botton. I am going to adjust valves then check comp again. The start stripping everything to get to work. Pics of progress later tonight I hope.

Ok. So the manual sucks but google foo and vakves checked. Offending cylinder had a tight intake. Adjustment done and bang 125 psi. Redid other and te same. Found bad fuse. 10 amp in a spot should have been 20. Put a 30 in for now. Will be putting all new blade fuses in and moving fuse box anyway. Lovely oil. Lots of condensation. Flushed it out. Valves look alright though

ok good night so far. on a computer now so typing gets better. Here is kind of the direction for this bob. Moto Mucci I think is the name of it. It is a Cafe but the minimalist clean lines are the direction I want to take. picture the mucci bike with the bars and tank from mine basically.
